Best Buddies

By Alex Navas

In April, Best Buddies collaborated with the DEI Council and National Honor Society to host the Best Buddies “Spring Fling” dance at the Lauri Ann West Community Center. The Best Buddies dance is such a popular event among students because it is a fun, inclusive event which enables ALL students to come together and celebrate their differences. This event promotes social inclusion and provides a fun and safe space for students of all abilities to interact and have a great time together.

Everyone dressed in their fanciest attire for the occasion, and came together for a fun-filled evening of dancing, food, and friendship. The decorations were festive, with flower leis and glow-in-the-dark bracelets to dress up and take pictures with, and cool glasses to complete the look. The atmosphere was electric, complete with face painting and a DJ playing awesome music that got everyone on the dance floor. The food was delicious, with pizza, desserts, drinks, and snacks to keep everyone fueled for a night of dancing. There was also a raffle and many in attendance went home with cool prizes.

Overall, the Spring Fling was a great success and a testament to the power of inclusivity and community. The event was made even better with the help of DEI Council and National Honor Society’s involvement. We hope to see more collaborations like this in the future!
